Why is Ebay blanket restricting sale of knives? why hasn't ebay implemented a age verification for such items,

Why not read the other thread with numerous people complaining about the same thing?

https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/eBay-Announcements/Changes-to-our-Knives-policy/ba-p/2582909

Or complain when it was advised on here several months ago that it was happening?, back in July in fact

Or ask eBay?

Why the ‘must buy knives on eBay’ at all?  

Use another site, or a real store

Maybe they will let you around the restrictions
